    Let the ridiculous hype-train that ends up leaving thousands booty-hurt and "done with SA" BEGIN!

    I haven't even cracked into any of my 12s yet, since apparently I have to age them first.

    What is 13 supposed to be? Either way I'm sure I'll buy some but I'm not going out of my way to get it. Good thing the SA hype-train does not have a station in San Antonio :slight_smile:

    You dont have to. If you like boozy beers drink them now. Or you could let SA store them for a year and then pay twice the amount for the 6-pack/bomber :astonished:

    Its one of those things where they're sitting in the beer fridge, but every time I open the door, I find something else I'd rather drink, so I havent grabbed one yet. Who knows when that will actually happen

    Pfft... DR12 was EASY to find. Heck, I was finding 6-packs 2 months after the fact this year.

    You Houston peeps need to find all the hoarders and tell them to calm the FUCK down this year. Specifically the cats.

    It's crazy down here on release days. I've noticed people at work, who are your avg BMC drinkers, go bat shit crazy after the releases

    It's exactly this. People who don't even want to drink it buy it because they "heard about it".

    I'm all for people getting into craft beer, but being a temporary convert just to hoard beer you are never going to drink ruins it for a lot of people.

    They don't just hoard the beer, they try to post it on Craigslist or Ebay demanding some outrageous price for it just so they can try to "hussle" someone out of money.

    Some people buy it thinking they will like it. And buy way too much. And then it just rots.

    I'm sure some ends up on craigslist, but I'm sure a lot gets given to other people that don't really appreciate it either.

    Sad thing is I talk to people in line and can tell that they only care about Saint Arnold and Divine. I even hear them talk about how they didn't really care for the last release.

    I think they search for it because they think it's cool. lol

    To be fair, I did not really like 12. Though that is not going to stop me from trying to get this if I can. Some are amazing, some are not. Just the way special releases go sometimes.

    I do realize that this is what happens with most of it. I know people hear Divine Reserve and just rush out to get it without knowing anything about it other than it's Divine Reserve.

    I also know, first hand, that some people wait for special releases (Divine Reserve, Pumpkinator, and others) just so they can hoard large quantities, 4+ cases of pumpkinator, just so they can try and hussle the average Joe out of their money. See the "Cat" from other threads. Granted if someone wants to pay $40 for a bottle of pumpkinator that is their business.

    I wasn't trying to call anyone out or throw anyone under the bus I was just stating that it happens.

    eh. I wasn't too impressed with 12, but I loved 10 and 11, maybe 13 will be good..but who knows, I will try to get some to support my local brewery.
